BIJAYANANDA MISHRA

 

THE TEACHER ZEITGEIST 

The ancient life in Aryavarta; 

Aryavarta ancient past is glorious,

Rich in valor con pious victorious,

Kingdoms were golden king rule,

Hunger poverty illness rare cool,

Joyous age for pleaser journey,

Gold silver was coined as money,

Horse elephant travel boat in a river,

No road but pedestrian path long,

Chariots bullock cart moves in song,

Rest houses in path men walk in the forest,

Thieves wherein the forest to kill loot rest,

Four stages of human life in practice,

Childhood in-home young to gurukul,

Gurukul was in deep forest Rishi ashram,

Spiritual health-care yoga defensive arm,

Few excel in fighting play war games,

Rest in rituals meditation music fame,

The third stage is to return society settle,

Marriage children work for four classes,

Who worship God were Brahmins,

Rest is fighter sweeper service means,

Barber farmer plumber carpenter,

Goldsmith business musician scholar,

Royal family untouchable were rulers,

Spread among themselves n warriors,

 

The rule of a blind king;

 

This canvas is drawn at the time of Kaurav,

Kaurav rogue kingdom a blind king rule,

His sons were cons misdeeds painful,

Kings brother had five sons Pandav,

Both royal kids learn in the palace to fight,

The zeitgeist model teacher train insight,

The Brahmin the teacher broke rule Gurukul,

First tuition teacher to create misrule,

Partial mind Drona saw one view as fact,

A great warrior of the time sanctity depart,

The violator of Brahmanism n as a teacher,

Teacher of that time treated father mother,

As parents love and care for children equally,

Drona was all for Kaurav, Pandav deceitfully,

He was of knowledge wisdom at his time,

He pretends mute Draupadi in the king’s court,

Deaf n mute watched humiliate of the queen,

The Mahabharat war between brothers rose,

One practiced truth played a game of dice,

Forsake his wife in, a game lost no suffice,

War was for sharing land right were Pandav,

The warrior Brahmin teacher side with evil,

As one sows so he reaps, Drona perish as a deal,

The ancient zeitgeist teacher fact or fiction,

His corrupt mind treacherous mind a lesion,

 

New age teacher zeitgeist;

 

Drona poison root amuses venomous fruit;

Dorna lives as a teacher are sectarian plenty,

Steals kid’s midday meal, money spree dirty,

Sales private knowledge to rich corrupt,

Poor children suffer leave school abrupt,

Came to corona time school, college in the lock,

Drona has gone digital fees are in shock,

Drona is on-line one book n hook all,

Teacher zeitgeist to jet-set waits recalls.

Four classes fight savage ruin nation,

Paths are highways, thieves, in motion,

Music knowledge recreation news in the pocket,

Money swindles easy all-time in a socket,

Evil is ruling lives, in power as rich,

Freedom is a joke comfort love greedy frisk,

Media transport travel life is modern,

Evil sulks came corona war so sudden!

New age zeitgeist teachers on a rampage,

Pretends decent corrupt future page,

Amoral amorous lost in lust temptation,

Rightful Pandav vanquish in redemption,

The rot in learning Drona spirit all fade,

Ancient gurukul springs life-wise in jade.
